Bazillion documents the "Iron Maiden":

This is the Iron Maiden - possibly one of the original baskets from the first permanent pole hole course in the world. It's still in the ground (photo taken 5/10/2009) but there's no hole that plays to it.


O mysterious and beautiful...a relic from a lost world. I think it's really a disc golf time machine....DON'T ACE IT NO MATTER WHAT!

Fort Lauderdale, FL

The Cassidy Brothers (Ryan and Sean) thought it time the sunshine state get some representation. Ryan tells me they constructed this bad boy for $50. It's built specifically for quick assembly and gets trucked around in the trunk. Upon seeing the basket on the floor I questioned its durability but upright it looks solid...a good catch indeed!




One thing is for sure though, if you're gonna putt in the house....



...you better make it!
Thanks for sharing guys and be on the lookout for more southern baskets.

 

Maiden, NC


Now if I lived in Maiden the "welcome to" sign would most certainly be tagged 'iron'...ok, that was dorky. So is my PVC fetish! Why am I so fascinated with the plastic variety? I may need counseling. Went fishing for this beaut posted by JackAce at dgcoursereview.com, a buddy of his made it.

It's hard to see, but there are 12 steel chains and 6 plastic chains.The basket is pieces of plastic safety fence netting ziptied to the pvc.The pipe through the middle is hollow all the way through. He is going to put a 3 foot pole into the ground and just slife the basket over top so he can put it up out of the weather. He also as mutiple pvc pieces attachments to make it taller as needed.

I was wondering bout the height....looked like it was built for midgets (err, I mean little people (can that really be the PC term!?!)) Only in Iron Maiden!

Killer Plastic Variety!!

 

Sayerville, NJ

Some people are just mean! ClayBoneNJ got $56 together and in two hours built this target using his dremmel drill.

I wanted to make something portable because my back yard isnt very big. so everything slides together. The pole with the L brackets into the base, the bucket slide down the pole and sits on the brackets, i cut slits in the top of the pipe so the grill would slide in, then cap it. The chains are secured with zip ties.
